Sculpture, life casts and press moulds.
The last time i took the life cast sculpture lesson i felt very overwhelmed and out of control with the precognition of the lesson. I decided to ask the students to work in pears so they could work on each other. In the last lesson there were students trying and failing to work on them selves. I also brought with me examples of each stage of the modrock demonstration to show the students before my delivery of the practical. I also used a different but more reliable release agent for the plaster so that the students had a better result. I gave H&S before demonstration which i forgot to on the last. After lunch i delivered the alganight demonstration.
I felt that the lesson had a better structure and ran smoothly.
It was easier to concentrate on one process at a time in stead of students trying to do both the modrock and alganight at the same time. I felt that there was more time and the setting times fell into brakes and lunches instead of waiting around.

Monday tutorials
Carol asked me if i would cover Steve's foundation group as he was working away for that day. I decided not to do a group tutorial as i knew the group needed to get on and work. I instead offered individual tutorials for those who felt that they needed to talk about their work. After the register i placed a piece of paper down for all the students that wanted a tutorial to put their name down. only to did witch i felt was a shame.
My first tutorial went very well. the students are focusing on talking about their work and looking at what words would describe their interests and practice. I listened to the student an realised she was interested in accident and control guiding her mark making. Also light and shadow played a large part in her over all body of work. I offered artists that she could look at and possible ideas that could take her experimental exploration to new medias.
I felt that the student got what she needed from the tutorial and was happy.
When i looked on the paper for the next name i noticed lots more had been put down.
during the day i also gave practical advice on construction of a 2 piece mould. i did feel that i didnt have enough time for that student as she was in Hanna's group and i felt torn from Steve's.
during lunch Carol asked if i could give a special tutorial to one student that had lost a lot of time on the course. I found this to be show of confidence on my tutorial skills. Its extremely impotent not to loose a student because if numbers go down then possibly jobs are lost. I was very happy to give the tutorial and felt the student had a strong plan to move forward with.
